Answer: he had 50 marbles at first.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of marbles that he had at first.

He gave 2/5 of his marble to his neighbour. It means that the number of marbles that he gave to his neighbour is 2/5 × x = 2x/5

The number of marbles that he has remaining is

x - 2x/5 = 3x/5

He gave 1/6 of the remainder to his friend Ali. It means that the number of marbles that he gave to his friend is

1/6 × 3x/5 = x/10

The number of marbles that he has left is

3x/5 - x/10 = 5x/10

He had 25 marbles left. It means that

5x/10 = 25

5x = 25 × 10 = 250

x = 250/5 = 50

Determine the number of real solutions of -2x2 + 5x - 3 = 0.
andrew11 [14]

-2x^2 + 5x -3 =0

Find the discriminate:

In the given formula a = -2, b = 5 and c = -3

The discriminate is found using the formula b^2 - 4(ac)

Replace the letters with their values:

5^2 - 4(-2*-3)

25 - 4*6

25-24 = 1

When the discriminate is greater than or equal to 0, there are two real solutions.

The answer is c) 2
